Am I still in Kalbarri?

 Took 2 pots back out this morning, planned to fish after. Tried trolling, water dirty as usual inside, fresh easterly,  nothing after an hour, so i anchored up in close not far from town. I was intent on getting a livie down, so I gave my wife a 10kg baitrunner outfit with a lightly weighted mulie to go on with . Before I could get anything she was into a decent Golden Trevally. Put him back, still trying to get a livie, she has a big Silver Trevally. Then a small Goldspot Trevally, 67 cm Pinkie, legal size Spangled,and a fair Cobia. Meanwhile, i've been dusted twice on the baitchaser rigs between tying baitchasers back on, dealing with her fish, a spot of jigging, and re-rigging after being sharked, and everything else, I still don't have a useable livie after 2 hours-a parade of footballers, baby blackarse, scalyfins, undersize baldie, spinefoot-aaarrrgghh!

Eventually i just give up and start floating a mulie ,  things have gone quiet. So we move a bit, burley up again, and I get smashed on the PE1.5-3 jig outfit floating a mulie--call it for a sambo after 10 minutes it turns out to be a solid Gold Spot Trevally,  nearly as thick through the shoulder as a sambo, must have gone 10kg.

Jesus, am I in the tropics? I mean, I have caught all these species individually before around here, but never on the same day.
